Chapter 18 Occasionally Acquired a Strange Scimitar
After dropping Jiang Yuetong off, Qin Fei rode his electric bike to Bowen Street.
Bowen Street is very famous in Dongcheng District of Songhai and is the largest antique market in Songhai.
Nowadays, many rich people play with antiques, and fakes are everywhere. Most of the antiques on Bowen Street are fakes.
But there are also genuine products among them, and even priceless genuine products can be purchased at some stalls outside.
To put it bluntly, this is similar to gambling on jade. It relies on eyesight. Things like getting rich overnight often happen, which leads to many treasure hunters coming here, commonly known as gold diggers.
Of course, there are people who get rich overnight, but there are more people who spend a lot of money to buy fake goods and lose everything.
Even though it is already evening, there is still a steady stream of people shopping for treasures on Bowen Street.
"Wow...Mom, I don't dare anymore..." As soon as Qin Fei stopped the electric car, he heard the cry of a child in the street.
"Compensate! Do you know what this is? This is the palace porcelain of the Tang Dynasty. It costs 300,000 yuan. You must pay not a penny less!" A man's voice shouted.
"Sir, just be okay. The child is ignorant and broke your antiques. Just go around us. We really don't have that much money." A woman's voice was crying and begging.
Qin Fei heard the sound and walked over, and saw that a small stall was already surrounded by people.
Qin Fei moved forward curiously, and because of his height advantage and his somewhat thin figure, he quickly squeezed in front.
At this time, a middle-aged woman, about forty years old, was holding a crying little boy in her arms.
The owner of the stall is a skinny man in his thirties, with two goatees and a deer-like head. He doesn't look like a good person at first glance.
Qin Fei glanced at the several objects in front of him. There was an ancient book, but it was written in ancient Tubo script, which modern people couldn't understand at all. The other was a rusty scimitar, stained with rust.
Qin Fei's eyes couldn't help but light up. Although the vendors didn't sell many things, at a glance, these items looked like genuine antiques!
Qin Fei has a deep knowledge of antiques. His grandfather Qin Hao used to like to play with these things when he was a child. The family also invited a master in Jiangnan antique industry named Zhou Zhengqing, who was also his grandfather's friend.
When he was young, many people praised Qin Fei for his good eyesight, not only for seeing people, but also for antiques. At that time, Zhou Zhengqing even wanted to accept Qin Fei as his disciple.
It was just rejected by my grandfather.
After all, the Qin family is a business family. Playing with antiques can only be regarded as a hobby. Qin Fei's ambition must be cultivated in business!
However, Zhou Zhengqing really liked Qin Fei. Although he did not accept him as his disciple, he also taught him many skills in looking at antiques.
The stall owner didn't sell many things, only three items. In addition to these two items, there was also a porcelain vase that was broken by a child and was in the hands of a woman.
Qin Fei couldn't help but look at the woman a few more times, because she was so beautiful.
The woman wore a gauze white shirt, a pair of black wide-leg pants, and three thousand black hair rolled up. Her skin was as beautiful as snow, elegant and beautiful, and there was a faint scholarly air between her brows.
At this time, she was holding a colorful porcelain vase carefully in her arms, and her beautiful eyes were looking at it carefully. However, there was a piece missing at the mouth of the porcelain vase.
The guess was good, it must have been accidentally broken by the crying child next to me.
There were many people watching, and many people were commenting on the authenticity of the vase.
"Miss Xiao, is this porcelain vase real?" asked a middle-aged man wearing glasses next to her.
The beautiful woman's name is Xiao Yu. She is the daughter of Xiao Qingfeng, the most famous antique dealer in Songhai City. She is knowledgeable and has excellent eyesight. She is very famous in the entire Bowen Street.
Many of the people around were owners of antique shops in the surrounding streets.
"The appearance of this porcelain is exquisite, and the texture is also very good. It doesn't seem to be fake, but its appearance is really inconsistent with the style of the Tang Dynasty. I can't tell what era it is a product of." Xiao Yu said softly, her voice was pleasant and especially pleasing to the ear.
The goatee stall owner's eyes flashed, he glanced at Xiao Yu's chest area, and he smiled: "Your Xiao family has such a famous name in the antique world, a porcelain vase, Miss Xiao can't tell whether it is genuine or fake?"
"You still can't understand what Miss Xiao means? You are obviously fake. The porcelain of the Tang Dynasty is quaint and simple. You are colorful and look exquisite and gorgeous, but there is no such product in the Tang Dynasty, let alone one from the Tang Dynasty.
It's the palace." A shopkeeper said.
Xiao Yu didn't say anything. In fact, she accepted the shopkeeper's words. This porcelain vase looked too much like a modern product.
"Miss, can you let me have a look?" Qin Fei said.
Xiao Yu raised her head and glanced at Qin Fei, nodded slightly, and handed the porcelain vase to Qin Fei's hand.
Qin Fei carefully held it in his hand and looked at it for a few seconds, then carefully observed the broken hole, then turned to look at the magnifying glass placed on Xiao Yu's legs together: "Can I use it?"
Xiao Yu nodded and handed it to him.
"Thank you."
"Where did this guy come from? Miss Xiao has already concluded that this is questioning Miss Xiao's vision?"
"Exactly, just for the sake of sensationalism, as if you have done a lot of research." At this time, people around him suddenly started whispering.
The goatee man stared at Qin Fei closely, looking obviously nervous.
The stall owner was nervous, and the middle-aged woman holding a child next to her was even more nervous. She was afraid that the young man would say that the porcelain vase was real. It cost 300,000 yuan. How could she afford the compensation?
Qin Fei looked at the fracture carefully with a magnifying glass, then suddenly reached out and scratched the porcelain vase a few times, knocking it while scratching, and at the same time, he put the mouth of the bottle to his ear and listened.
"Hey, what are you doing? Can you afford to pay for it?" Goatee's expression changed and he quickly stopped him.
The onlookers around also shook their heads.
This guy obviously doesn't understand shit and is just pretending to understand.
Although there is a saying of "looking, listening, comparing, and testing" to identify porcelain. These four methods are used to identify the authenticity of the porcelain body, but Qin Fei actually scratched, scratched and knocked it with his hands. It was just a fool!
However, Xiao Yu on the side narrowed her eyes slightly.
Qin Fei's movements seemed casual, even a bit playful, but Xiao Yu could see his movements clearly, and they seemed to be very particular.
Moreover, she seemed to have seen this unique identification method in ancient books.
Finally, Qin Fei blew into the mouth of the porcelain bottle again, then put it to his ear and listened again.
Then he carefully placed the porcelain vase on the stall, looked up at the man with the goatee, and said with a smile: "This is the real thing."
The middle-aged woman's face changed and she suddenly collapsed on the ground with her child in her arms.
The man with the goatee twitched his beard, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he gave Qin Fei a thumbs up: "This gentleman is still discerning, so I said this is true. It's only 300,000, how could he lie to others!"
As he said that, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the crying woman: "Compensation, three hundred thousand, not a penny less."
"Fart, how do you know this is genuine? Just tell me." A big shopkeeper nearby said.
"I think this guy was invited here as a trustee, right?" someone speculated.
After the words fell, many people nodded one after another, looking at Qin Fei with unkind eyes. They all concluded that Qin Fei was the one hired by Goatee specifically to blackmail people!
"Fart, I don't even know this gentleman. What I sell are genuine products that have just been unearthed!" the goatee man retorted angrily.
Qin Fei smiled, ignored the sounds around him, looked at the goatee and said: "Three hundred thousand, right? I bought it."
"ah?"
The onlookers around and the shopkeeper were dumbfounded!
The goatee man was also dumbfounded!
Because even if this thing is genuine, it has already broken a dime. Even if it is worth one million, it is no longer worth ten. It would be good to sell it for one hundred thousand.
The woman next to her also exclaimed in surprise and looked at Qin Fei stupidly. She had just heard what the people around her said and thought Qin Fei was the one hired by Goatee to blackmail her for money.
"Don't embarrass this mother and son. Let them leave. I bought this porcelain vase." Qin Fei said with a smile.
"Seriously? Okay, three hundred thousand, you pay first and then I let them go." Goatee said.
He is not stupid either. Others say that he and Qin Fei are colluding, but he is still worried that this boy is here to rescue the mother and son!
What if the mother and son are allowed to leave, and the kid runs away without paying?
"good."
Qin Fei quickly paid 300,000 yuan, and the goatee man smiled from ear to ear. The mother and son also burst into tears of gratitude to Qin Fei, and even asked the child to kneel down in gratitude to Qin Fei.
People around him started talking more and more, saying that Qin Fei was kind-hearted and was helping the mother and son. Some people also said that this strange-looking thing might be genuine and worth a lot of money, but few people could tell.
Just value.
After all, there are many good people in this world, but there are too few who can casually spend 300,000 to be a good person, unless they are fools!
Some people also say that Qin Fei is a fool. Foolish people have a lot of money!
"Haha, this gentleman is very discerning. Come and take a look at these two items of mine. These are ancient relics that have just been unearthed. You will definitely not lose money if you buy them." Goatee said excitedly and started to sell the other two items.
thing.
Qin Fei ignored the whispers of the people next to him, glanced at the scimitar next to him without trace, reached out to pick it up, and felt a cold and bone-gnawing feeling from the scimitar into his body.
